Renaissance Festival & Shopping at SouthPark Mall

The slumber party went well and the five girls slept in until about 9am.  After a yummy breakfast of eggs, ham biscuits, banana bread and fruit, we hit the road to The Renaissance Festival in Huntersville, NC - about 30 minutes away by car.  The festival takes place on over 22 acres of land & is an annual event that celebrates the lifestyle of the Renaissance era.  Lots of food, items for sale, rides and shows.  Everyone dresses up in costume!
The afternoon was spent at SouthPark Mall shopping - a big hit for the Cabo girls!!
We took Regina to our club for dinner tonight - Quail Hollow Club (home of The Wachovia Championship golf tournament).  Our waiter, Alfredo, speaks Spanish, so he had a good time talking in his native language with Regina.  After dinner we came home and fell fast asleep - yet another action packed day has come to a close:)
